Thought I was going to have to run the 15 on my own and we all know how boring it is for me to run alone. Even though I know Michael would have jumped on the bike for at least half of the run I thankfully found a partner. Julie, one of the teachers I train; agreed to come over here from the town she lives in and slow down a bit to run with me. I know she is easily an 8 min. miler but she pushed me to run 9:30's for most of the run (not counting 3 rest stops).
Was our first cool morning of the 16 weeks, so sad. Guess lake season is almost over, Michael is going to shed a tear or two. Looped town 2 times (10 miles followed by a 5 miler) with thunder brining us home. Luckily the rain held off until we got back. Did have water 3 times (not enough) with blocks at mile 10. Didn't feel hungry at all but was thirsty. Need to plan more water stops next time.
Don't know if she will run with me (or us) again but Julie and I got to know each other and I only ran into her a couple of times on turns when I forgot she couldn't read my mind and just "know" we were turning. We talked a lot, not just me, and she got to know the town pretty well. Next time I should have a better plan in mind before heading out.
